California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 3 — Professions and Vocations Generally, Chapter 4 — Attorneys, Article 10 — Law Corporations, Section 6171.1
Six months and one day following the death of a sole shareholder of a law corporation, the certificate of registration of the law corporation shall be deemed canceled by operation of this section. However, the certificate may be sooner canceled by receipt in the State Bar office of a written request for the cancellation from the personal representative or sole heir of the deceased shareholder or the person to whom the shares passed by will or operation of law following the death of the sole shareholder.
Notes
Sets a sole-shareholder law corporation’s registration certificate to be canceled automatically six months and one day after the shareholder’s death. Allows earlier cancellation when the State Bar receives a written request from the deceased shareholder’s personal representative, sole heir, or person who received the shares by will or operation of law.
